Purple Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 So, I was still asleep at 11 AM on a tuesday... sue me I was up until 3:30 am as well. Amyway a little before 11 am I hear a pounding at the door, and shake the cobwebs from my head.... more pounding then a double door bell ring. I get up throw on a robe thinking crap my 19 year old forgot her key again, mumble swears to myself about "whenwillshegetresponcible" peek around the corner of the hall at my front door and see....... a man. Quickly duck back and stand there, out of sight, until he gives up and leaves. Go to my rom, and oh well I'm up now, get dressed and do normal morning stuff. Go back down hallway and open door to get mail, and a small pamphlet form a local babtist church falls off my door. What the freakin hell??!! I'm not real angry or anything, but what the hec??? Why the aggressive I know our there door knocking??
R. S. Martin Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 If all he wasnted to do what leave a pamphlet, why break down the door? I guess he wanted to be caught tresspassing???
Deva Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 He was hoping to talk to someone as well, because he was out "soul winning." Baptists like to leave tracts, pamplets and stuff like that everywhere. I can't go to a restaurant with my parents without my mother leaving "God's Simple Plan of Salvation" behind for the wait staff. It is quite embarassing. As if they think the U.S. population doesn't know anything about this stuff already.
Robbobrob Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 After a bought a house from a little old lady who got moved to a nursing home, I was flooded with religious types coming to the house. She must have made friends with every cult in town. And I had the luck of having unusual work hours at the time, so I was home during the day a couple days a week. Finally had to start hiding, got tired of the constant bombardment from God's People. And that does not count the mail that she got from every kook organization on Earth. I did find that an open robe scares away JWs very effectively.
OldApostate Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 Why the aggressive I know our there door knocking?? Purple, I saw a post that you attended an event in San Diego. Do you live in the College area? When I lived there, I had a similar experience, only I was, um, "entertaining a caller." I opened the door wearing a bathrobe a bit later and found a Baptist pamphlet. Wondering if it's that same church. If it is, I had successfully dissuaded them from coming to the door of my previous residence in the area by answering the door with my nursing child still attached. They must have a knack for particularly inconvenient moments.
